To use emulated USB controllers in HVM domUs, you must use QEMU version 9.1.*.

usbctrl=[ "USBCTRL_SPEC_STRING", "USBCTRL_SPEC_STRING", ...]

If you are using QEMU version 9.2.*, you will get error messages when creating HVM-domUs.

After a recent package upgrade the xen-qemu package did not build anymore.

...
[1013/2838] Compiling C object libblock.fa.p/block_nfs.c.o
FAILED: libblock.fa.p/block_nfs.c.o 
...

My workaround

downgrading package libnfs (6.0.2-3 => 5.0.3-1)

I am not sure about a permanent solution.

alright, back near my stuff, version bumped to 8.1.0, did a test compile.

@Refutationalist any chance of updating the package to 8.0.3 (or newer) to fix the building issue ?

I ran into the same issue ArthurBorsboom noted a few days ago. I confirm that the linked patch was released in qemu 8.0.3 and I successfully built this package with that version.

The problem is known and a patch has been created upstream.

https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1709

Maybe this patch can be (temporary?) applied until available in a newer version?

I have created a new VM and installed Arch with the help of the Arch installer, installation type: minimal.

After installing git and yay I ran the following. yay -S xen xen-qemu libvirt-xen

This resulted in the three packages being installed without conflicts.

So, I guess the question remains what triggers the conflict on the 'existing' system? Any pointers that I can try?

@ahmubashshir: if you build in a clean chroot it doesn't build those files, thus no collision. This is why I suggested it. I'm happy to accept a PR for a more permanent fix, but until I receive one or I get to one myself, build in a clean chroot.
